/><hr /><h2>Detailed Description</h2><p>The QUrl class provides a convenient interface for working with
URLs.</p>
<p>It can parse and construct URLs in both encoded and unencoded
form. QUrl also has support for internationalized domain names
(IDNs).</p>
<p>The most common way to use QUrl is to initialize it via the
constructor by passing a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>.
Otherwise, <a href="qurl.html#setUrl">setUrl</a>() and <a href="qurl.html#setEncodedUrl">setEncodedUrl</a>() can also be used.</p>
<p>URLs can be represented in two forms: encoded or unencoded. The
unencoded representation is suitable for showing to users, but the
encoded representation is typically what you would send to a web
server. For example, the unencoded URL
"http://b&#252;hler.example.com/List of applicants.xml" would be
sent to the server as
"http://xn--bhler-kva.example.com/List%20of%20applicants.xml", and
this can be verified by calling the <a href="qurl.html#toEncoded">toEncoded</a>() function.</p>
<p>A URL can also be constructed piece by piece by calling <a href="qurl.html#setScheme">setScheme</a>(), <a href="qurl.html#setUserName">setUserName</a>(), <a href="qurl.html#setPassword">setPassword</a>(), <a href="qurl.html#setHost">setHost</a>(), <a href="qurl.html#setPort">setPort</a>(), <a href="qurl.html#setPath">setPath</a>(), <a href="qurl.html#setEncodedQuery">setEncodedQuery</a>() and <a href="qurl.html#setFragment">setFragment</a>(). Some convenience
functions are also available: <a href="qurl.html#setAuthority">setAuthority</a>() sets the user name,
password, host and port. <a href="qurl.html#setUserInfo">setUserInfo</a>() sets the user name and
password at once.</p>
<p>Call <a href="qurl.html#isValid">isValid</a>() to check if the
URL is valid. This can be done at any point during the constructing
of a URL.</p>
<p>Constructing a query is particularly convenient through the use
of <a href="qurl.html#setQueryItems">setQueryItems</a>(), <a href="qurl.html#addQueryItem">addQueryItem</a>() and <a href="qurl.html#removeQueryItem">removeQueryItem</a>(). Use <a href="qurl.html#setQueryDelimiters">setQueryDelimiters</a>() to
customize the delimiters used for generating the query string.</p>
<p>For the convenience of generating encoded URL strings or query
strings, there are two static functions called <a href="qurl.html#fromPercentEncoding">fromPercentEncoding</a>() and
<a href="qurl.html#toPercentEncoding">toPercentEncoding</a>() which
deal with percent encoding and decoding of QStrings.</p>
<p>Calling <a href="qurl.html#isRelative">isRelative</a>() will
tell whether or not the URL is relative. A relative URL can be
resolved by passing it as argument to <a href="qurl.html#resolved">resolved</a>(), which returns an absolute URL.
<a href="qurl.html#isParentOf">isParentOf</a>() is used for
determining whether one URL is a parent of another.</p>
<p><a href="qurl.html#fromLocalFile">fromLocalFile</a>() constructs
a QUrl by parsing a local file path. <a href="qurl.html#toLocalFile">toLocalFile</a>() converts a URL to a local
file path.</p>
<p>The human readable representation of the URL is fetched with
<a href="qurl.html#toString">toString</a>(). This representation is
appropriate for displaying a URL to a user in unencoded form. The
encoded form however, as returned by <a href="qurl.html#toEncoded">toEncoded</a>(), is for internal use, passing
to web servers, mail clients and so on.</p>
<p>QUrl conforms to the URI specification from <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</a> (Uniform
Resource Identifier: Generic Syntax), and includes scheme
extensions from <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt">RFC 1738</a> (Uniform
Resource Locators). Case folding rules in QUrl conform to <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3491.txt">RFC 3491</a> (Nameprep:
A Stringprep Profile for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)).</p>
<a id="character-conversions" name="character-conversions" />
<h4>Character Conversions</h4>
<p>Follow these rules to avoid erroneous character conversion when
dealing with URLs and strings:</p>
<ul>
<li>When creating an <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> to contain
a URL from a <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> or a char*,
always use <a href="qstring.html#fromUtf8">QString.fromUtf8</a>().</li>
<li>Favor the use of <a href="qurl.html#fromEncoded">QUrl.fromEncoded</a>() and <a href="qurl.html#toEncoded">QUrl.toEncoded</a>() instead of QUrl(string)
and <a href="qurl.html#toString">QUrl.toString</a>() when
converting a QUrl to or from a string.</li>
</ul>

written out as text.</p>

<p>Note that the case folding rules in <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3491.txt">Nameprep</a>, which

<p>In TolerantMode, the parser corrects the following invalid
input:</p>
<ul>
<li>Spaces and "%20": If an encoded URL contains a space, this will
be replaced with "%20". If a decoded URL contains "%20", this will
be replaced with a single space before the URL is parsed.</li>
<li>Single "%" characters: Any occurrences of a percent character
"%" not followed by exactly two hexadecimal characters (e.g., "13%
coverage.html") will be replaced by "%25".</li>
<li>Reserved and unreserved characters: An encoded URL should only
contain a few characters as literals; all other characters should
be percent-encoded. In TolerantMode, these characters will be
automatically percent-encoded where they are not allowed: space /
double-quote / "&lt;" / "&gt;" / "[" / "" / "]" / "^" / "`" / "{" /
"|" / "}"</li>

accepts paths separated by slashes as well as the native separator
for this platform.</p>
<p>This function also accepts paths with a doubled leading slash
(or backslash) to indicate a remote file, as in

if one can be deducted. In the case that is not possible, an
invalid <a href="qurl.html#QUrl">QUrl</a>() is returned.</p>
<p>Most applications that can browse the web, allow the user to
input a URL in the form of a plain string. This string can be
manually typed into a location bar, obtained from the clipboard, or
passed in via command line arguments.</p>
<p>When the string is not already a valid URL, a best guess is
performed, making various web related assumptions.</p>
<p>In the case the string corresponds to a valid file path on the
system, a file:// URL is constructed, using <a href="qurl.html#fromLocalFile">QUrl.fromLocalFile</a>().</p>
<p>If that is not the case, an attempt is made to turn the string
into a http:// or ftp:// URL. The latter in the case the string
starts with 'ftp'. The result is then passed through <a href="qurl.html">QUrl</a>'s tolerant parser, and in the case or success,
a valid <a href="qurl.html">QUrl</a> is returned, or else a
<a href="qurl.html#QUrl">QUrl</a>().</p>

<i>relative</i>. This URL is used as a base to convert
<i>relative</i> to an absolute URL.</p>
<p>If <i>relative</i> is not a relative URL, this function will
return <i>relative</i> directly. Otherwise, the paths of the two
URLs are merged, and the new URL returned has the scheme and
authority of the base URL, but with the merged path, as in the

<pre class="cpp">
 <span class="type"><a href="qurl.html">QUrl</a></span> baseUrl(<span class="string">"http://qt.nokia.com/support"</span>);

 <span class="comment">// prints "http://qt.nokia.com/products/solutions"</span>
</pre>
<p>Calling resolved() with ".." returns a <a href="qurl.html">QUrl</a> whose directory is one level higher than the
original. Similarly, calling resolved() with "../.." removes two
levels from the path. If <i>relative</i> is "/", the path becomes
"/".</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="scheme" />QString QUrl.scheme (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the scheme of the URL. If an empty string is returned,
this means the scheme is undefined and the URL is then
relative.</p>

and <a href="qurl.html#isRelative">isRelative</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="setAuthority" />QUrl.setAuthority (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>authority</i>)</h3><p>Sets the authority of the URL to <i>authority</i>.</p>
<p>The authority of a URL is the combination of user info, a host
name and a port. All of these elements are optional; an empty
authority is therefore valid.</p>
<p>The user info and host are separated by a '<a href="index.html">@</a>', and the host and port are separated by a ':'.
If the user info is empty, the '<a href="index.html">@</a>' must be
omitted; although a stray ':' is permitted if the port is
empty.</p>
<p>The following example shows a valid authority string:</p>

The fragment is the last part of the URL, represented by a '#'

for referring to a certain link or point on a page:</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qurl-fragment.png" /></p>
<p>The fragment is sometimes also referred to as the URL
"reference".</p>
<p>Passing an argument of QByteArray() (a null <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>) will unset the fragment. Passing
an argument of <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>("") (an
empty but not null <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>) will
set the fragment to an empty string (as if the original URL had a
lone "#").</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setEncodedPath" />QUrl.setEncodedPath (<i>self</i>, <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>&#160;<i>path</i>)</h3><p>Sets the URL's path to the percent-encoded <i>path</i>. The path
is the part of the URL that comes after the authority but before
the query string.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qurl-ftppath.png" /></p>
<p>For non-hierarchical schemes, the path will be everything
following the scheme declaration, as in the following example:</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qurl-mailtopath.png" /></p>
<p>Note: this function does not verify that <i>path</i> is properly

inserted as-is, and no further encoding is performed when calling
<a href="qurl.html#toEncoded">toEncoded</a>().</p>
<p>This function is useful if you need to pass a query string that
does not fit into the key-value pattern, or that uses a different
scheme for encoding special characters than what is suggested by
<a href="qurl.html">QUrl</a>.</p>
<p>Passing a value of QByteArray() to <i>query</i> (a null <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>) unsets the query completely.
However, passing a value of <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a>("") will set the query to an empty
value, as if the original URL had a lone "?".</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setEncodedQueryItems" />QUrl.setEncodedQueryItems (<i>self</i>, list-of-tuple-of-QByteArray-QByteArray&#160;<i>query</i>)</h3><p>Sets the query string of the URL to the encoded version of
<i>query</i>. The contents of <i>query</i> are converted to a
string internally, each pair delimited by the character returned by
pairDelimiter(), and the key and value are delimited by
valueDelimiter().</p>
<p>Note: this function does not verify that the key-value pairs are
properly encoded. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that
the query delimiters are properly encoded, if any.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setFragment" />QUrl.setFragment (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>fragment</i>)</h3><p>Sets the fragment of the URL to <i>fragment</i>. The fragment is
the last part of the URL, represented by a '#' followed by a string
of characters. It is typically used in HTTP for referring to a
certain link or point on a page:</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qurl-fragment.png" /></p>
<p>The fragment is sometimes also referred to as the URL
"reference".</p>
<p>Passing an argument of QString() (a null <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>) will unset the fragment. Passing an
argument of <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>("") (an empty but
not null <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>) will set the fragment
to an empty string (as if the original URL had a lone "#").</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setIdnWhitelist" />QUrl.setIdnWhitelist (QStringList)</h3><p>Sets the whitelist of Top-Level Domains (TLDs) that are allowed
to have non-ASCII characters in domains to the value of
<i>list</i>.</p>
<p>Qt has comes a default list that contains the Internet top-level
domains that have published support for Internationalized Domain
Names (IDNs) and rules to guarantee that no deception can happen
between similarly-looking characters (such as the Latin lowercase
letter <tt>'a'</tt> and the Cyrillic equivalent, which in most
fonts are visually identical).</p>
<p>This list is periodically maintained, as registrars publish new
rules.</p>
<p>This function is provided for those who need to manipulate the
list, in order to add or remove a TLD. It is not recommended to
change its value for purposes other than testing, as it may expose
users to security risks.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qurl.html#idnWhitelist">idnWhitelist</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="setPassword" />QUrl.setPassword (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>password</i>)</h3><p>Sets the URL's password to <i>password</i>. The <i>password</i>
is part of the user info element in the authority of the URL, as
described in <a href="qurl.html#setUserInfo">setUserInfo</a>().</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qurl.html#password">password</a>() and
<a href="qurl.html#setUserInfo">setUserInfo</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="setPath" />QUrl.setPath (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>path</i>)</h3><p>Sets the path of the URL to <i>path</i>. The path is the part of
the URL that comes after the authority but before the query
string.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qurl-ftppath.png" /></p>
<p>For non-hierarchical schemes, the path will be everything
following the scheme declaration, as in the following example:</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qurl-mailtopath.png" /></p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qurl.html#pathx">path</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="setPort" />QUrl.setPort (<i>self</i>, int&#160;<i>port</i>)</h3><p>Sets the port of the URL to <i>port</i>. The port is part of the
authority of the URL, as described in <a href="qurl.html#setAuthority">setAuthority</a>().</p>
<p><i>port</i> must be between 0 and 65535 inclusive. Setting the
port to -1 indicates that the port is unspecified.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qurl.html#port">port</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="setQueryDelimiters" />QUrl.setQueryDelimiters (<i>self</i>, str&#160;<i>valueDelimiter</i>, str&#160;<i>pairDelimiter</i>)</h3><p>Sets the characters used for delimiting between keys and values,
and between key-value pairs in the URL's query string. The default
value delimiter is '=' and the default pair delimiter is
'&amp;'.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qurl-querystring.png" /></p>
<p><i>valueDelimiter</i> will be used for separating keys from
values, and <i>pairDelimiter</i> will be used to separate key-value
pairs. Any occurrences of these delimiting characters in the
encoded representation of the keys and values of the query string
are percent encoded.</p>
<p>If <i>valueDelimiter</i> is set to '-' and <i>pairDelimiter</i>
is '/', the above query string would instead be represented like
this:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 http:<span class="comment">//www.example.com/cgi-bin/drawgraph.cgi?type-pie/color-green</span>
</pre>
<p>Calling this function does not change the delimiters of the
current query string. It only affects <a href="qurl.html#queryItems">queryItems</a>(), <a href="qurl.html#setQueryItems">setQueryItems</a>() and
addQueryItems().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="setQueryItems" />QUrl.setQueryItems (<i>self</i>, list-of-tuple-of-QString-QString&#160;<i>query</i>)</h3><p>Sets the query string of the URL to an encoded version of
<i>query</i>. The contents of <i>query</i> are converted to a
string internally, each pair delimited by the character returned by
pairDelimiter(), and the key and value are delimited by
valueDelimiter().</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> This method does not encode spaces (ASCII 0x20) as
plus (+) signs, like HTML forms do. If you need that kind of
encoding, you must encode the value yourself and use
QUrl.setEncodedQueryItems.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setScheme" />QUrl.setScheme (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>scheme</i>)</h3><p>Sets the scheme of the URL to <i>scheme</i>. As a scheme can
only contain ASCII characters, no conversion or encoding is done on
the input.</p>
<p>The scheme describes the type (or protocol) of the URL. It's
represented by one or more ASCII characters at the start the URL,
and is followed by a ':'. The following example shows a URL where
the scheme is "ftp":</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qurl-authority2.png" /></p>
<p>The scheme can also be empty, in which case the URL is
interpreted as relative.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setUrl" />QUrl.setUrl (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>url</i>)</h3><p>Constructs a URL by parsing the contents of <i>url</i>.</p>
<p><i>url</i> is assumed to be in unicode format, with no percent
encoding.</p>
<p>Calling <a href="qurl.html#isValid">isValid</a>() will tell
whether or not a valid URL was constructed.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qurl.html#setEncodedUrl">setEncodedUrl</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="setUrl-2" />QUrl.setUrl (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>url</i>, <a href="qurl.html#ParsingMode-enum">ParsingMode</a>&#160;<i>mode</i>)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setUserInfo" />QUrl.setUserInfo (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>userInfo</i>)</h3><p>Sets the user info of the URL to <i>userInfo</i>. The user info
is an optional part of the authority of the URL, as described in
<a href="qurl.html#setAuthority">setAuthority</a>().</p>
<p>The user info consists of a user name and optionally a password,
separated by a ':'. If the password is empty, the colon must be
omitted. The following example shows a valid user info string:</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="toAce" /><a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> QUrl.toAce (QString)</h3><p>Returns the ASCII Compatible Encoding of the given domain name
<i>domain</i>. The result of this function is considered equivalent
to <i>domain</i>.</p>
<p>The ASCII-Compatible Encoding (ACE) is defined by RFC 3490, RFC
3491 and RFC 3492. It is part of the Internationalizing Domain
Names in Applications (IDNA) specification, which allows for domain
names (like <tt>"example.com"</tt>) to be written using
international characters.</p>
<p>This function return an empty QByteArra if <i>domain</i> is not
a valid hostname. Note, in particular, that IPv6 literals are not
valid domain names.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.</p>

otherwise an empty <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> is
returned. The output can be customized by passing flags with
<i>options</i>.</p>
<p>The user info, path and fragment are all converted to UTF-8, and
all non-ASCII characters are then percent encoded. The host name is
encoded using Punycode.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="toLocalFile" />QString QUrl.toLocalFile (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the path of this URL formatted as a local file path. The
path returned will use forward slashes, even if it was originally
